Flavours of Fall: An Evening at the Glenfiddich Orchard

When Alchemysts Inc. asked us to design Flavours of Fall: An Evening at the Glenfiddich Orchard, an immersive evening for 50 special guests to celebrate the launch of Glenfiddich’s Orchard Experiment bottle, we knew it was the perfect opportunity to drum up something over-the-top and unique.

The mood was “nighttime in an autumn orchard” - we brought as many 8ft faux trees as would fit into the snug space, used twinkle lights and candles to create intimacy, covered every surface with moss, and decorated with details like apples, evergreens, pinecones and logs. 

As event designers, we created an indoor autumn orchard

With the help of Narcissus & Echo, we created a stunning floral entry with draping vines and moody blooms to set the mood as soon as guests entered BarChef. As with any brand event, you need a branded photo backdrop! We designed an 8x8’ wall cloaked with fall foliage, climbing branches and deeply coloured florals that created a lush wild orchard effect. Using bottles of Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment as props, the photos captured were something out of a Midautumn Night’s Dream!

BarChef, known for their inventive cocktails, created three custom Glenfiddich drinks, The Ginger Stag, Bourbon Barrels & Balsam, and The Autumn Glen. As an experiential component to the evening, guests were able to pick their favourite Fall flavours and BarChef made them their very own custom Glenfiddich cocktail to enjoy at home!

This was such a memorable fall evening, and we had fun playing with the seasonal vibes. Do you love how it all came together? So do we! Thank you to Alchemyst Inc. and PMA Canada for enlisting our team with event design, and to the vendors who partnered with us in making this an autumn dream come true.
